I go back and forth on whether or not I want kids, but for when I don't, that's part of the reason, yeah.

There are a lot of reasons why I dont want kids, but the world being overpopulated and basically destroyed does factor in.

A lot of them take the "be fruitful and multiply" thing to heart.

Some even see having kids as a surefire way to take the world back from the "sinners" or people they don't like. The Quiverfuls, for example.

It's certainly one of the reasons for this latest generation's hesitation and resistance to starting families but the most significant reason must be economical. It's never been more expensive to raise children and we're all poor.

Yes, it is. We cannot even afford a coffee date or a full cart of groceries, on average.

I dont understand people who hate kids. Blame the parents, its almost always them. I say this as a teacher. Or maybe you just arent good with kids.

But i do understand not wanting them when the world has nazis on the rise, global warming, and everyone struggling to earn money or get decent jobs

My 2 helpers at work are 22 years old and have been dating for like 4 years now. Boyfriend and girlfriend. Awesome workers/people and normal in everyway but they are similar to "end of times" Christians. They think we are living in the worst time possible and have no desire to ever have children because of that.

I don't want them to feel weird about their faith so I try to subtly bring up periods of history that were much worse- WW1, WW2, Mongol invasions, Etc.

But if everyone is going to Hell by default, as most Christians believe, then isn't it better to just not have kids

It is a big factor,

CSCA33 posted...
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/7/3/AAevWaAAEl9p.jpg
and this is one of the main reasons. If I was to have a kid now, I expect there's a high likelihood the planet will be uninhabitable within their lifetime, or at least close enough to uninhabitable that I wouldn't wanna force them into it.

Kids are too much work, you lose lots of freedom for 18 years, and too expensive. I can't think of a single pro to having kids.

I think not having kids is completely fine. You don't even need a reason or to explain why you don't want any.

I think saying it's because "the world is shitty" is... weird though. I can't help but want to ask, is there a time period in which you think the world was not too shitty to have kids?

It was one of the reasons, granted I didn't know how shitty it would get in my lifetime. I also came from divorced parents which didn't help, and I don't really like kids anyway. I don't hate them, I just don't enjoy being around them. I just like doing my own thing. It all just kind of equalled out to something I didn't want to pursue.
